At least 13 people have been confirmed dead following a three-vehicle collision at Odumase, near Konongo, on the Kumasi-Accra Highway in the Ashanti Region.
The crash involved a cargo truck transporting tomatoes, a passenger bus and a fuel tanker, which was not carrying fuel at the time of the accident.
The cause of the crash has not been officially established.
However, eyewitnesses say the collision occurred after an alleged wrongful overtaking manoeuvre, resulting in a head-on collision involving the vehicles.
Emergency response personnel and security agencies were dispatched to the scene to rescue trapped victims, while the injured were transported to nearby health facilities for treatment.
The accident caused heavy traffic congestion along the busy highway as rescue and recovery operations continued.
Meanwhile, a second road crash was reported shortly afterwards at Dadieso, also near Konongo, raising further concerns about road safety on the Kumasi-Accra Highway.
Authorities have confirmed 13 deaths, but say the death toll could increase as rescue efforts continue and critically injured victims receive medical treatment.
